TASK 1
a) Similarities & Differences among coaching, teaching as well as mentoring along with
summarizing the duty and obligations of mentor
Teaching: In this, a teachers main focus is to make the student understand basic principals of
concept being taught. It will include all key attributes which are essential to understand a certain
procedure. This needs a particular environment, which shall include surroundings, tools to help
and a place where if a student does some mistake it should not effect performance of
organisation or harm it. Various elements & skills which is required by any teacher in order to
give any kind lecture is good communication skills which provide teacher clarity & assist them
in making students understand concept with proper transparency. Students need to practice and
learn all such concepts, which will make the impact directly on their brain. In case of any
confusion it is duty of teacher to clear their doubts. These skills will help them to perform tasks
in real world (Comeau and et. al., 2018).
Coaching: It is the method which is practices in real world in each concept which is quite tough
or necessarily a lot of training is required which generally performed at a extensive experience,

which is implementing various concepts & helps in implementing important points in real life
scenario. When a student implements such unique learning they might experience certain issue
or need to make certain changes to complete such task. In this a coach helps to boost the level of
confidence and provides clarity to practitioner. A coach will assist such individualistic
personality in getting expert in the field & improves their efficiency in the whole. They also have
a particular communication skill, which takes lot of time to build a certain confidence in
practitioner. Plus, it includes various techniques as well as tools which assist them in order to
form correct and effective decisions. A student this way will remember all lessons granted to
them & future execute them in order to perform them in an effective manner (Comeau and et. al.,
2018).
Mentoring: In this method usual focus is upon learning technique an expert teaches a person to
become expert in a specific area. It is the period when individuals become more mature & have
to assign things as per requirement. Therefore, it is essential to consider all the required or
necessary things. They demand correct guidance & performance instructions then only they can
properly excel in this. The main aim is to organise & develop proper instruction which needs to
be sorted as per the requirement. The main area is to conduct as well as to give some elements
which assist an individual person in gaining correct decision making power. These mentor help
them in making correct choices and have to include the required issues in the upcoming areas of
aspects. Mentor also necessarily to connect with the students on emotional basis in order to make
them stronger mentally, physically & emotionally. They have to make fare picture in their head
about what they are seeking in their future and assist them in order to achieve them (Dahlke and
et. al., 2018).
Basis Teaching Coaching Mentoring
Comparatively
contrasting
When a person is
teaching someone they
have to clear each
concept from its basic
root. They have to
make hem understand
little meaning to it and
explain every detail
In this the student
already knows the
concept and things, just
need clarification in a
better presentation.
In this the mentor just has
to keep the students or
practitioners focus on
there main goals and
objective plus they have
to give certain area of
aspects which have to be
understood correctly and

connected to it. guide them until they
achieve such target.
Action course They have techniques
and tool to make them
understand basis.
Learning outcomes and
tactics need to be
changed as per each
student (Dahlke and et.
al., 2018).
In this the teachers
concept are enforced but
only on things which are
not clear in students
head, not the whole
concept again unless
needed.
In this concept the main
aim here is to keep them
in correct focus and not
let them get distracted.
This can make it possible
for all the people that
they have to indulge as
per requirement. It can be
concluded desired results.
b) Indicate & Effectiveness of Mentorship in order to assist the students in order to attain their
goals.
The basic role a teacher, I have to shuffle all mine students understand several basic concepts
that were very much essential in case of them to involve & register as per regulation. In this
certain skills which are greatly defining all such crucial roles will be defined as per requirement.
The can be done for conducting proper results because help to attain proper changes. The main
aim is regarding to procure whole writing & make specific changes as per requirement in the
aiming of much aspects. Some few technical tactics which have to be solved as per the requisite
changes, this can made for making all students have to be requiring. The following skills need to
be made as per each student which has to be done,some of the following instruction:
 Communication: In case of certain cases I have to make proper case and better tactic to
understand things. The main aim here is to guide and provide the required strategies,
which are to be done in the guiding techniques. Every student need to be understood in a
different manner.
 Acquisition results and Response: They have to understand each and all aspects upon
which the whole student is asking alterations. I have to ascertain a track record of each
person who is enabling these kind of aspects (Dornyei and Ryan, 2015). The main aim of

mine here is to conclude such results. Here the conclusive results have to be conducted in
the required changes and in the conceptual concept.
 Clarity: providing clarity to each student is very important for me. Unless they done
understand the basic concept or element they will not understand any things which is
connected further more in it. So as a requirement I wont be able to conclude my task till
the clarity is not provided.
TASK 2
a)
The role of Teaching is an important role in relation to an individual which needed
different skills and competencies that are used in order to build the completion of different tasks
& activity. The role in which the mentor provides guidance & support along with overseeing
their activities who commonly performs work for another that it could become possible to build
betterment in performance of activity & the goals & objective could be achieved in an efficient
and effective manner. There are many different strategies with the help of that it is possible to
make development in the learning and development process of students while making use of
Mentoring Role are provided as under:
Present as effective illustration
Through the aid of being a good example in front of other people, it will be possible to
make improvement in the level of working in an individual. As such a sense of impression comes
into an individual when a person sees other individuals doing the same thing which the other is
doing. So this helps in develop a thinking in their mind that they could also do the same for the
betterment in their career growth as well (Entwistle and Ramsden, 2015). As such the mentor is
doing his work ethically, excellence, professionalism so in overall nature this create a positive
impact upon working and the same provide to them with a affirmative response from another
aspect as well.
Offering problem solving strategies
Each grounds network has difficulties to face, and it is unavoidable that a mentee will
experience a few issues. The proportion of a successful guide is to help a mentee address issues
deliberately and adequately. Involvement in grounds strategy and procedures may smooth the
path around certain issues, nature with regular home room issues may situate the coach to offer

explicit instruments or strategies to determine a contention, or associations crosswise over
grounds may streamline an answer. Coaches ought to be prepared to offer procedures they have
used to take care of comparative issues.
Encourage Excellence
Numerous examinations have demonstrated the significance of exclusive requirements,
and guides are in the ideal situation to set the bar high and urge their mentees to meet the
challenge at hand. New employees who surpass desires have less trouble exploring the residency
procedure, than the individuals who simply make due with the base required (Gillett-Swan,
2017). Guides who push the fledglings they work with to exceed expectations increment the
aggressiveness of their mentees.
Listen and Support
There is not a viable alternative for undivided attention, and coaches should be especially
canny audience members. It is critical to figure out the real story and foresee the anxieties,
questions, and concerns mentees are battling to adapt to on an everyday premise. As opposed to
promptly hinder with arrangements, it is now and again increasingly viable to get the entirety of
the issues, issues and issues out, and afterwards help the mentee work through a procedure to
think of their own answers. Persistence, empathy and comprehension are incredible abilities for
tutors to use.
Offer Challenging Opportunities
Time is regularly hard to find for a mentee, yet having low desires isn't helping anybody
out. Push mentees to escape their usual range of familiarity and take part in new exercises, have
them pick what to engage with deliberately, however push them to pick. With help and support
tutors might have the option to get their charges to achieve things they didn't understand they
were able to do, and that is one proportion of a practised coach.
Resources that are chosen
There are different resources which proves to be helpful in the development of skills
related to Mentoring to provide the students with better understanding and improvement in their
level of knowledge as well. There are different related resources are provided below:
Building of relationships: In between the mentor and mentee, it is important to have a
trustworthy relationship with the help of which it could become possible to understand, believe
and respect each other (Järvelä and et. al., 2016). It is important to have good relationship in

between the mentor and mentee so that learning could be done in a good process that mentor
could provide the mentee with full support and guidance and along with this, the mentee could
also put his own questions and queries in front of the mentor.
Monitoring and Judgement Means: There are different resources which are chosen in order to
focus and evaluate the working of different individuals or mentees so that their working and
performance could be notices and possible improvements in their working could be noted. For
example, the use of observation checklist will be helpful in order to know about the areas where
the mentees' performance is good and also about those one where they are not performing well.
This will also help in finding out the ways by it could be possible to remove the issues faced by
them.
Reasons for selecting a strategy
With the help of thee strategies, it will be possible to provide the students with both the
practical and theoretical aspects of learning so that they could shuffle transformation in their
acquisition. The starting will be finished from the ground itself by developing a good
relationship with them which will make it possible to collectively work so as to make
achievement of goals and objectives in individuals career (Kizilcec, Pérez-Sanagustín and
Maldonado, 2017).
b)
It is used in order to determine the eligibility of an individual in order to get some special
education services. There are different factors that have impact are described below:
Period: It plays an important and is related to noticing the time when there occurs a change in
the behaviour of an individual. For example, the behaviour of a child in school and at home. So
this will provide with the information the reasons of changes in the behaviour and the ways to
remove them as well.
Home Prospect: It is also possible that there are chances of deviation in the work of an
individual because of his family background and culture due to which it is possible for him to
make changes in himself according to the new environment provided.
Genitor Care: The impact could also because of parents concern as parents may not allow their
child to move in a direction due to which it is not possible for him to learn and develop
efficiency in that skill.

In addition to this, with the passing of time, the experiences will tend to increase and the
services delivered by me along with my skills and competencies will also improve. So this will
make me capable to understand the needs and preferences of others as well that what will be the
best in order to make them clear with what they have to do or to make improvement in their
learning and development processes (Poupore, 2016). Not only in the education sector, the
learning process occurs but in the individual life as well, it plays an important role with the help
of which it will be possible to make improvement in their own skills and competencies.
Mentorship is an important and of high responsibility role in which it is important for an
individual to be 100% percent sure about the information which it is going to deliver. This will
help in proper delivery of ideas and communication in the true and accurate manner that will
ensure about their growth and development in the personal and professional level as well.
TASK 3
a)
Reflection basically help to know about the strengths and weaknesses along with the
available opportunities and threats available to an respective so as to achieve the goals and
objectives of an individual in own career. The my own experience is reflected which was
ascertained by me during the mentoring of some of my students. It was completely a pleasant
experience which I came across with those students. However, things are not equal always so it
does not mean that everything passed with good means everyday but there were also some points
where the communication lacked and also become a reason of our disputes among each other.
Another time, when I provided with students where I was supposed to bring development of
acquisition operation that will aid in shaping future in a well defined manner. Earlier to the
starting their development process, important for myself to carry my own evaluation so as to
know about the areas of improvement & also whether I am capable of doing same or not. In case,
I am capable sufficient of providing development process than it will be good otherwise, this is
also important for myself to carry on the improvements in my own. Some skills & competencies
that were important for an individual in order to get succeed in their life. So firstly, discussing
about strengths so it is related to the strong connection skills with the assist of which it is
manageable to build others to understand what I want to convey to them. This skill also helped a
lot to me in understanding about what the students wants to convey to me as well.

Along with this, there are also some other important skills which plays an important role
in the success of an individual's career (Sessa and London, 2015). Creativity, patience,
leadership, motivational are some of the important skills and qualities which is important to have
for an individual so as to get success in their career and also to fulfil the roles and responsibilities
which a mentor or teacher had.
Along with the above skills and strengths of mine, there were also some weak points or in
other words, it can be said that there were also some areas of improvement with the help of
which it could become possible to make improvement in the level of efficiency and to make
improvement in the level of services which is provided to the individuals. As such the conflict
resolution skill in which I am weak and also the skill in which I am not good. At the time of
conflicts in the team, it is not possible for me to find out a good and satisfactory solution to the
issue faced by team so that situation could be controlled. Through this, areas of improvement,
the artefact is also related to decision making skills, time-period management & critical thinking
skills in which also the betterment is important so that it will become possible to provide the
students with higher level of services that aid in foster the velocity of their acquisition and
development. With the aid of this advance, it is possible to improve the level of scholarship of
students and the same will help in shaping their upcoming to be a better future.
b) Improvement of Action Plan
Action plan is the framework which is about development of the skills through adoption
of various strategies. This includes the working over skills which are actually weaken in nature.
This help in selection of strategies and adherence of same for overall development of skills and
personality.
